Once proper infringement notification is received by the Designated Agent, it is Howcast’s policy to remove or disable access to the infringing Content; to notify the Content provider, member or user that it has removed or disabled access to the Content; and that repeat offenders will have the infringing Content removed from the system and that Howcast will terminate such content provider’s, member’s or user’s access to the Services.

If you believe that your material has been removed by mistake or misidentification, please provide Howcast with a written counter-notification containing the following information:

Your name, address, and telephone number.

A description of the material that was removed and the location on the Site (e.g., the URL) where it previously appeared.

A statement made under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, any judicial district in which Howcast may be found (which includes the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or an agent of that person.

Your electronic or physical signature. Please submit this information to Howcast’s Designated Agent at the address listed at the end of this policy.

Please note that we will send any complete counter-notifications we receive to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice. That person may elect to file a lawsuit against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we will restore the removed materials. Until that time, your materials will remain removed.

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
